Sikke-i Gaybiye

I paid the price of fifty guides for the coin of the unseen, I received it, and I am sending it to you. Also, as a blessed price for that blessed magazine, in exchange for two pots which have been of service to me and which are not very necessary at the moment and which I do not wish to give to others, and for a cotton robe that I have worn for fifteen years and a very blessed book, I received a teapot, a razor that has been in service for twenty-four years, and a sheet that has been serving me for a long time. Now, with the estimation and calculation of Kılıç Ali's father and Ahmed Rasih, the price of the pot is nine liras, the teapot is nine liras, the razor is nine liras, the cotton robe, the sheet, two hand towels, one undershirt, and a cotton shirt are estimated to total 125 liras. Those present valued this price. I gave a lower price; I say this price is too high. Greetings to all. • • •

And with the indication of the verse, "And they prefer the life of this world," (2:75), in this age, although they know the treasures and pleasures of the hereafter, like diamonds, preferring the shattered pieces of worldly bottles to them, and being subject to the love of this world and its secret, which is a danger for the people of faith to fall into the path of misguidance, can only be prevented by showing the pains of this world as if they were the torments of hell. The Risale-i Nur proceeds in this way. Otherwise, in the face of the absolute disbelief and the misguidance coming from science and the stubbornness of those addicted to licentiousness in this age, even after introducing the Lord of the Worlds and proving the existence of hell and its punishment, people might be dissuaded from evil and wrongdoing, but perhaps only one in twenty might take a lesson. After taking the lesson, one might say, "The Lord is the Forgiving, the Merciful, and besides, hell is very far away," and continue in licentiousness. The heart and soul are conquered by sensuality. Indeed, the Risale-i Nur, by showing the evident and terrifying results of disbelief and misguidance in this world, with most of its balanced arguments, even the most stubborn and pleasure-seeking people are made to hate those base, unlawful pleasures and licentiousness, and thus guide those of sound mind to repentance. From these balanced arguments, the short balanced arguments in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Words, and the long balanced argument in the Third Section of the Thirty-Second Word, even the most depraved and misguiding man is frightened and made to accept the lesson. For example, in the Ayet-i Nur, I will briefly indicate the situations that I saw as truth through imaginative travel. Those who want the detailed explanation should look at the end of the Sikke-i Gaybiye.

And indeed, nothing exists but praises Him. In His name, exalted is He. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you forever, always. Beloved, sincere brothers; First: I saw the Tahirî on behalf of all of you, and I have also sent to our own account, to all of you, a complete Said and a living letter. And today, from Sandıklı, Ethem Hoca and Mustafa Hoca have arrived, and they have gone to the Nurlu duties. Second: Our brother Hulusi Bey is requesting Zülfikar and Siracü'n-Nur, and then the Sikke-i Gaybiye. Let the Nur center communicate with Sabri and try to send it. Third: The Risale-i Nur is spreading and opening new horizons by itself, both internally and externally. We are hearing that even the most hardened atheists are being compelled to surrender. However, we believe that a certain degree of caution is necessary at this time, especially the Sirâcü'n-Nur within the Beşinci Şuâ should not be given into unworthy hands. Imam Ali (r.a.) by naming the Risale-i Nur as Sirâcü'n-Nur and by secretly calling it tenevveret, is indicating that Sirâcü'n-Nur will be more of a hidden transformation. We believe that there is a hidden sign indicating that Sirâcü'n-Nur will bring about more transformation behind the curtain. We greet all of you. The Everlasting is He who remains. Your brother Said Nursî • • •

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: Infinite thanks be to the Almighty, we received with great joy five copies of Asa from the Musa treatise and the Sikke-i Gaybiye treatise, which had been detained in the court for three years. May the Almighty be forever pleased with you. Amen. Second: The errors corrected in the Zülfikar copy given by the court have not been corrected in this copy. In the fourth zeyl of the Mu'cizat al-Kur'aniyya, on the one hundred and first page, the eighth line, "hem lâm" is an error. It should be "hem lâ". Because in the Qur'an, lâm occurs thirty thousand times, and lâ occurs nineteen thousand times. Third: A person with the new script is asking a question in a letter written to the Isparta Sümerbank Factory. On my behalf, you may recommend the Kader treatise to him. I am both unwell and unable to write personal letters. Also, Zubeyir has gone to Ankara. Moreover, I do not know the new script either. I have sent you the information. Fourth: I have also sent fifty pounds for my expenses with the driver Abdurrahman. The books you sent me and the remaining debt of the Collected Sayings should be deducted from my debt. It was very urgent. I send many greetings to all. • • •

Emirdağ Lâhikası - II ·Mektup 34 ·machine translation (qwen3-32b-sre)

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: I have received the twenty lessons and the gift of the Medresetü'z-Zehra. In return, while I was in the Darü'l-Hikmet in an academic position, I was assigned, given, and accepted the cost of the treatises I had at that time, and the remaining amount, which was more than the cost, and with which I intended to go on a pilgrimage, and which had been my sufficient provisions for about twenty to thirty years, ninety banknotes—which in my estimation were worth as much as a thousand banknotes—I sent to you with Nur's important publisher and the diligent heir of Hafiz Ali (r.h.), Hafiz Mustafa (r.h.), for the purpose of relating to the sacred lessons of the Medresetü'z-Zehra. The price of these new lessons, like Siracü'n-Nur and Sikke-i Gaybiye, should be seven and a half liras for me. Because I am compelled to give gifts to many. In addition, I consider each lesson and copy as a gift of a thousand from the members of the Medresetü'z-Zehra. Second: The Risale-i Nur is spreading among the Hajj pilgrims and the Islamic world outside, and it is raising itself to worthy hands. And the Asa-yi Musa and Zulfikar we sent to Damascus by hand, the scientific committee examined them for fifteen days and said as a sign of their full approval: "We will submit them in parts as volumes." But to submit them all at once requires a lot of money. Also, to translate them all into Arabic now at once would take a long time; it is not possible. Therefore, the old students there and the new disciples I sent tried to take the book out of their hands, so they did not submit them for profit. Those brothers are teaching it to the needy from their own hands. Whereas I did not have permission to submit it. Now is not the time. Also, translating into Arabic requires an important and high scientific committee with the participation of Egyptian scholars. Anyway, it was done in a hurry. Third: The reason why some copies we sent to Istanbul for sending to the outside were not sent, is because many did not show much interest in going on Hajj, and someone who has the trust and is going on Hajj wrote to us saying: "This should be sent directly by post to Makkah al-Muqaddasah."

We offer thousands of Bâraka-Allah and innocent condolences to the great wrestler of the blessed ones and the great Abdurrahman of Nur, and to the noble-souled Küçük Ali's success in Lemaat, and to the memorization of the innocent Mehmed of Nur, we say thousands of Mâşâallah and Waffakakallah. However, for the parts included in the Lem'alar collection, which are Siracü'n-Nur, Sikke-i Gaybiye, and Talismans, we refer to your discretion to avoid repetition. Greetings to all of you...
